You really should take a pregnancy test on the day when ur period's supposed to come. Or even wait a couple of days, since it could be late due to stress and other things.

I'm sorta on the same page...I'm really nervous right now that my body is weird, so I took a pregnancy test five days before the 1st day of my period and it was negative. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed tho, hopefully my period will come on time.

Well I had sex the other nite, and my period is suppose to come next week, but I heard that the sperm can live up to 7 days so I didnt know if I took the test it would register correctly.

Pregnancy tests pick up the hcg (human chorionic gonadotropin) hormone which is only released when the embryo begins implanting into the uterine lining, this generally happens between 6-12 days after ovulation, so the best time to test is a few days after your period was due. See this website for some faq

hope this helps.
